I bought some Black Black gum (Japanese product) from Amazon and got a package with random yellow pieces of gum included. Anyone know the difference from the original gum? I didn’t try translating the packaging before opening it (and ripping off half of the writing explaining the yellow pieces). 🤦‍♀️

@jezlyn that packaging says something like “intense shock mint”

@jezlyn

Found a less cut off image at a shop page, looks like "入っている[..] 激ベリミント", roughly "contains extreme berry mint"

Why berry would be yellow I have no idea.

[edit: wait, not ベリ, it's ビリ. Biri? "last" / "bottom"? Now I'm confused.]

@jezlyn Found the official product page from the manufacturer, and google translate translates the term there as "super bilimint". So ultimately not very helpful but at least I personally feel more justified in not understanding it if google won't give anything useful either.

@squipo @jezlyn I think it’s meant to mean ビリビリ as in getting an electric shock or a rattling sound, so “intense electric mint” or something along that line
